That first taste of coffee in the morning ☕️

Well I didn’t plan that when I got up this morning, but I am now the owner of a pair of AirPods Pro. Other failing technology and $50 off in Target helped that purchase along.

I watched White Tiger a couple of nights ago and the movie is still sitting with me. ‘Enjoyed’ is not the word I would use to describe the film. Maybe ‘compelling’ is a better fit? Either way, two days on I am still feeling unsettled from the experience. 🍿

Brrrhhh, it’s cold this morning. Admittedly not as cold as those with snow outside their front door, or if you woke up to a frost. But the pre-dawn air, mixed with wind had a sharp edge to it.

A change is as good as a rest.

I’m not thinking clearly and so have decided to bring a task slated for tomorrow, forward to today. I’m heading out to clear my head instead of forcing myself to produce results.

A day of rivers and flooding, and it’s still raining as we turn in for the day.

Kiki's Map of Maui

I recently watched Kiki's Delivery Service and noticed that the map that Kiki used was of Maui, or at least had the names of towns and places on Maui. So even though the movie is set in a European looking town, there is a South Pacific slant!

Now puddles are beginning to form everywhere. 🌧🌧🌧

It’s raining - hard!

There is a 40-50 foot swell hitting the Hawaiian islands today. I was hoping to go out and see it, but I’m not feeling well. So I am left with that feeling of hearing the roar of the ocean from a mile away, knowing what is going on, and just having to let go…

Sometimes recording a podcast comes easily. Other times it’s a struggle as I over think the process. My decision is to publish anyway. If I don’t, I fear that I will get lost in perfectionism and then nothing will get published! Learn from mistakes and experience. 🎙

This post is coming from Ulysses. I am just testing the app’s first alpha version for publishing to Micro.blog.

I have just announced the relaunch of my meditation podcast, Behind The Thoughts. I’m happy to be podcasting on Micro.blog. 🎙
